I figure here is as good a place as anywhere to ask this.
I keep seeing the term "hard mode" being thrown around now when talking about bosses in Ulduar. Is this the new term for heroic, or is it something else? Sounds like it's independent of heroic.
Also, what class is Yewdyee? I noticed that player topped the damage meter. I know he/she's a caster but not the class.
Shadow Priest? Wow. One of my friends said that Shadow Priests aren't that good anymore (I've never raided with one at 80 so what he said is all I've had to go on for how they are.); looks like this patch is being generous to them.
Either that or my friend doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, which is also quite possible.
"hard" mode on IC just means to kill Steelbreaker last. It's kinda the same thing as doing it in any other order, except you have to deal with Steelbreaker's "super" ability. What he does is places a buff/debuff on the tank which increases his damage done (not taken) by 200% for 25? seconds. Then the tank blows up for aoe damage and dies. Steelbreaker then needs to be picked up by a new tank. This keeps happening until either you kill him or he kills you. Brez for 1st tank recommended.
i think he means hard mode for ulduar in general, and not just the iron encounter...
Where heroic mode usually buffs up the bosses or maybe increases the spawnrate of adds, hard mode kinda changes some fundamental basics in the boss mechanics, therefor allowing only one way to be the correct :)
other than that 100% correct, tho i think the debuff is only for 20sec, not entirely sure however :)
I believe this is the easiest of the difficulties. I wanted to try the hardest mode, but we were short on time so we wanted a kill. We barely got the kill before the mass porting. Hard mode doesn't seem like it would be that much harder with the proper abilities and dispells used on a DK tank.
its a tiesto track forget the name though

This was back in PTR days. You can actually do hard mode 10 man with only 1 tank and 2 healers.

This was on ptr and the time allotted to test the boss was limited. So when the limit is reached players are ported from the instance.

No mate, it is different from heroic.
Hard mode means a fight encounter made harder by certain variables. For example Sarth "Hard Mode" would be Sarth + 3drakes still alive etc.

Also Yewdyee or Eyeheal on live realm is a shadow priest.

Ah, ok. That makes sense, though I never see Sarth with three drakes up being called hard mode; I just see it called Sarth with three drakes up. :P
Thanks for the clarification. Seems pretty obvious now that I know it, but whatever. Least I know now.

Normal is the 10man version. Heroic is the 25man version and 'Hard Mode' must be a harder version of both the 10man and 25man. Kind of like Sarth 3D.

Yewdyee is a priest if he hasnt messed with the Recount colors for classes.
